Resident urges board to delay staff dress rule that would ban QR-code apparel
Summary
At the Jan. 12 board meeting, community member Lisa Danskin asked the Klamath Falls City Schools Board to postpone adopting an administrative rule that would ban staff clothing with QR codes, saying the rule appears tied to the KFACE "Speak Now" campaign and may implicate pending labor proceedings.
Lisa Danskin told the Klamath Falls City Schools Board on Jan. 12 that the district’s proposed administrative regulation on staff dress and grooming, which would prohibit clothing bearing QR codes, should not be adopted while related labor proceedings are pending. "This rule is in direct response to the KFACE Speak Now organizing campaign," Danskin said, and she asked the board to wait for the outcome of an unfair labor practice filing with the Employee Relations Board.
Danskin said she was not aware of any significant classroom disruption caused by staff wearing the T-shirts and that district requests had included asking staff to stop wearing the shirts when they were viewed as "too negative." Her plea framed the regulation as potentially implicating protected activity under labor law if the arbitrator rules for KFACE. The board did not take action on the administrative regulation at this meeting; staff presented GBCA-AR as information only.
Board members later clarified that administrative regulations typically do not require board approval and that questions about QR codes raised by the public comment were separate from the AR presentation. The district did not offer an immediate response to Danskin’s request at the meeting.
